* And Mary said , Behold the maid-servant of Lord . May it happen to me according to thy word . And the agent departed from her . * And having risen in these days , Mary went with haste into the hill country , into a city of Judah , * and entered into the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth . * And it came to pass , when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary , the babe leaped in her belly . And Elizabeth was filled of Holy Spirit , * and she exclaimed in a great voice , and said , Blessed are thou among women , and blessed is the fruit of thy belly . * And why is this to me , that the mother of my Lord would come to me ? * For lo , when the voice of thy greeting happened in my ears , the babe leaped with joy in my belly . * And blessed is she who believed , because there will be a fulfillment of the things that were spoken to her from Lord . * And Mary said , My soul magnifies the Lord , * and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior , * because he has looked upon the lowliness of his bondmaid . For behold , from henceforth all generations will regard me blessed , * because the Mighty has done great things to me . And his name is holy . * And his mercy is for generations of generations to those who fear him . * He did a mighty work by his arm . He scattered the proud in the mentality of their heart . * He brought down potentates from thrones , and raised up lowly men . * He filled those who are hungry with good things , and those who are rich he sent away empty . * He helped his boy Israel to be reminded of mercy , * just as he spoke to our fathers : to Abraham and his seed into the age . * And Mary dwelt with her about three months , and returned to her house .
